Hi dad had he’s last chemo Thursday and he coming off steroids is it normal to feel emotional angry frustrated 

  • Hi again . Good to hear your dad has completed his treatment.

    For some folks, coming off the Steroids can be like having a serious drug withdrawal so yes, emotional, angry, frustrated and many other emotions can happen.

    The post treatment journey for some can be challenging but once the accumulative effects of all the drugs he has had leaves his system things should calm down. But he has been on a life changing journey so it will take time to find his ‘new normal’

    You may find it helpful to make a cuppa and have a look at this great paper After Treatment Finishes - Then What? by Dr Peter Harvey as it highlights the post treatment milestones that your dad is going to have to navigate.
